The Stellar Federation of Helios Command is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Federal Council of Helios Command with an iron fist, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.965 billion Helios Command Citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helios One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.4%.

The all-consuming Citizen of Helios Command economy, worth a remarkable 1,035 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 94,413 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 338,975 per year while the poor average 18,840, a ratio of 18.0 to 1.

Children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, and the phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Citizen of Helios Command politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Helios Command's national animal is the G-rabbit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Helios Command is ranked 14,005^th in the world and 1^st in Utopia for Fattest Citizens, with 16.79 Obesity Rate.
